Nicholaus Alexandros Dimitrios MSI (Born 22 September 1955) is a Belfrasian politician serving as Consul of Belfras and leader of liberat populare pars since 2015 and 2005 respectively. He entered the free democratic party in 1978 as the Senator for Patrinos' twelfth district and entered the Upper Senate as the Upper Senator for Patrinos in 1994.
Dimitrios was born on his family's estate in Patrinos. His father was Georgios Dimitrios III, who served as First Secretary in 1946 and oversaw the passing of the Western Statehood Act in 1952. His mother, Lauren Dimitrios née Kismes, was the neice of Antony Kismes, a patrician from Thessalona who served as Lord Palatine for the early part of the 20th century. Dimitrios attended the Jason V Academy for his early education before moving on to attending the University of Mondria and eventually Nuovo Portelli, the most prestigious university in the country for his Juris Doctor. While Dimitrios was attending Nuovo Portelli he met his future wife, Georgia, and married her in 1977.
With the assistance of his uncle-by-marriage, Dimitrios ran in the 1977 elections for the twelfth district of Patrinos while still a student at Nuovo Portelli. He won the seat and began his term on 2 March 1978, two months after graduating the prestigious university with honours.

Family and personal life
Whilst attending Nuovo Portelli, the country's most prestigious law universities, he was introduced to Georgia Callios who was practicing medicine at the nearby Portelli Childrens Hospital. After a six month courtship Nicholaus proposed to Georgia during the annual flower festival and wed on January 19th of the following year. The couple settled into his father's estated in west Patrinos after he passed away a year after their marriage. His wife, who was Jewish at the time of their wedding, was baptised to become Fabrian Catholic like her husband during their third anniversary.
Their first children, twins Ellyse and Tobias were born in a private hospital in Mondria on 15 July 1981. After the pregnancy, Georgia moved to Thessalona to recover with her parents whilst the twins stayed with their father and nanny at their Patrinos estate. On 05 May 1985 their third child, Georgio, was born whilst the family were on holiday in Vannois. Georgia, Ellyse and Tobias returned home with Georgio following the birth whilst Dimitrios remained in Vannois a week further to settle business he had opened with a prospective business partner to open a new import/export pier in Mondria.
Ellyse and Tobias both attended the University of Mondria in their father's footsteps in 199, with Tobias going on to follow his father's path through to Nuovo Portelli and enter politics in his father's old seat of Patrinos' twelfth district. Ellyse took a sportsmanship degree at Mondria and went on to enter Tennis as a professional player, winning the 2005 Thessalona Open at age 24. In 2008 she broke her knee during a match, an incident that would end her professional career as she never returned to full fitness. As of 2017 she acts as a manager for high profile Tennis players. Georgio entered the Imperial Naval College of Thessalona in 2003 and would go on to serve as an officer in the Federation Navy. On 20 October 2014 Georgio and his wife were driving home and were struck and killed by a drunk driver just days prior to Dimitrios winning the elections to become Consul, with Georgio and his wife being buried the day following the election. The outgoing Consul, Gregory Richardson, sent his respects to Dimitrios and hailed his son as a fallen member of the Armed Forces.

2016 Latium succession crisis
Following the death of Jason VI, Latin emperor and king of Belfras, Dimitrios led a minutes silence in the Upper Senate, lowered the flags to half-mast throughout the country, and made a special announcement the evening that the news broke. As the succession crisis began to grow, a special session was held in the Upper Senate to discuss the ascension to the Belfrasian throne. Dimitrios dismissed the claim of Prince Michael almost immediately, citing that in any situation that may have arisen from the other two, he was in no way entitled to the throne. The senate decided by the end of the session that documentation presented by George and purported to be a legitimisation of his claim was a mere acknowledgement that Jason VI had indeed sired him out of wedlock, an act that made him a 'bastard' in ascension terms - exempt from the throne or any special privileges from the Imperial Family altogether.
Following the conclusion of the special session to determine the rightful successor, Dimitrios dispatched a personal messenger to hand deliver a note to Constantine, expressing condolences for his father's death and acknowledging him as the rightful heir of both the Latin and Belfrasian thrones. Dimitrios ended his personal message stating that he had formed his cabinet and government at Jason VI's pleasure, and that as the rightful King of Belfras his government now serves as Constantine's pleasure. When factions began to form and the crisis escalated, Dimitrios ordered the Armed Forces to stand-by and dispatched the rapid response forces to stand-by at nearby Arthurista alongside a substantial naval force.
